rjd2 on twitter about his columbus show

@wesflexner @donewaiting thanks for setting last nite up PROPERRRRR.
Keep reading for more photos. (more…)
Let’s not forget that Columbus’ Happy Chichester is one of the openers for Friday’s RJD2/Donewaiting.com 7-year Anniversary show. If you’re not hip to Happy (for shame!), he was in Columbus rock/funk act Royal Crescent Mob in the ’80s and early ’90s, fronted Howlin’ Maggie til around 2002, was an original member of The Twilight Singers and also played often with Greg Dulli in The Afghan Whigs. So the dude has a pedigree.
Happy does the solo thing now. His last release was 2007’s Lovers Come Back, but he’s kept busy doing solo gigs and playing as part of RJ’s touring band, which also includes multi-instrumentalist Derek DiCenzo and Sam Brown (You’re So Bossy, The Sun, Gaunt, New Bomb Turks.) In Friday’s incarnation, you’ll usually find Chichester on keys, DiCenzo on percussion & knob-twiddling and Brown on drums.
Just a bit of history and a Happy reminder.

One of the funniest videos in a minute..
. RJD2’s-Let There Be Horns is a good sign that RJ’s new record, The Colossus, will be, well, good. The Colossus drops 1/19.
I like the shitty look RJ gives the bull. Ima guess this isn’t the last we have seen of the bull.
Regardless, you can catch RJ @:

Oh man Comfest...or something like that. Basically there are a number of ways to go about Comfest. You can camp out somewhere in the park on a blanket, go check out bands with “clever” band names, wander around aimlessly running into people you know and drink booze and eat food and not pay attention to any bands, or you can hang out at the Offramp Stage all weekend like I pretty much did and watch bands that you know will be good.
How many times can you say the same things about the same bands? Find out after the jump! (more…)
